Fast-Food Workers to Walk Out for Higher Pay - Hartford Courant

Fast-Food Workers to Walk Out for Higher Pay - Hartford Courant: "Even when Kevin Burgos was a manager of a Dunkin' Donuts in Hartford, he made less than the $15 an hour workers are demanding in a one-day protest Thursday.

Burgos, 26, said he stepped down as manager three years ago so he could have more time to work on getting a commercial driver's license, and now, after eight years with the company, makes $10.50 an hour, working 35 hours a week as an assistant manager. When he was a manager, he said, he was paid $27,300 a year, or about $13 an hour."

Web site backing McDonnell seeks funds for his legal costs - The Washington Post


Web site backing McDonnell seeks funds for his legal costs - The Washington Post: "“That is an effort to start a process of having citizens of the commonwealth remember that they really like this guy and he has been a really good governor,” Galen said. “We want people to remember he’s done really good stuff, really bipartisan stuff.”

Investigators are exploring the McDonnell family’s relationship to Star Scientific chief executive Jonnie R. Williams Sr., who gave gifts to the first family at a time when the governor and first lady Maureen McDonnell promoted its dietary supplement, Anatabloc. McDonnell did not disclose some of Williams’s largess. State ethics laws, among the most permissive in the nation, allow office-holders to accept gifts of any value but require disclosure of those worth more than $50. Gifts to immediate relatives do not have to be reported."

“As these soldiers and families will tell you, they’re a family forged in battle, and loss, and love,” Obama said as Carter stood at his side and members of his unit watched in the White House East Room."

Republican Sensenbrenner vows to repair Voting Rights Act — MSNBC

Republican Sensenbrenner vows to repair Voting Rights Act

Just weeks after Texas and North Carolina passed controversial and restrictive new voter I.D. laws, Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner is vowing to reverse the recent Supreme Court ruling which made them possible.
“The first thing we have to do is take the monkey wrench that the court threw in it, out of the Voting Rights Act, and then use that monkey wrench to be able to fix it so that it is alive, well, constitutional and impervious to another challenge that will be filed by the usual suspects,” Sensenbrenner said Monday at an RNC event held to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington.
Sensenbrenner is a longtime advocate of the Voting Rights Act. As chair of the House Judiciary Committee when the law was reviewed in 2006, the Wisconsin legislator oversaw extensive deliberations which ultimately affirmed the VRA’s continuing necessity–and resulted in a 25-year reauthorization. So when the Supreme Court effectively gutted the VRA in June by voiding the requirement for certain states to get federal “preclearance” before changing their voting laws, Sensenbrenner was displeased.
“Voter discrimination still exists,” he wrote in a June op-ed for USA Today, “and our progress toward equality should not be mistaken for a victory.”

Air War in Kosovo Seen as Precedent in Possible Response to Syria Chemical Attack - NYTimes.com

Air War in Kosovo Seen as Precedent in Possible Response to Syria Chemical Attack - NYTimes.com: "Kosovo is an obvious precedent for Mr. Obama because, as in Syria, civilians were killed and Russia had longstanding ties to the government authorities accused of the abuses. In 1999, President Bill Clinton used the endorsement of NATO and the rationale of protecting a vulnerable population to justify 78 days of airstrikes.

A senior administration official said the Kosovo precedent was one of many subjects discussed in continuing White House meetings on the crisis in Syria. Officials are also debating whether a military strike would have unintended consequences, destabilize neighbors like Lebanon, or lead to even greater flows of refugees into Jordan, Turkey and Egypt."

Bobby Jindal withdraws request for Obamacare funds - Kyle Cheney - POLITICO.com: "Gov. Bobby Jindal, a fierce Obamacare critic, pursued funds from an under-the-radar program in the health law until this week, when his administration reversed course, citing cumbersome federal rules.

Health aides to the Louisiana governor began eyeing the program – a long-term care reform effort called Community First Choice – last year and went as far as submitting a formal application to CMS. But officials say they withdrew the application Monday because complicated federal stipulations would have undermined their efforts and likely led to lawsuits."

Food Stamps Avoided By Millions Of Eligible Americans





Food Stamps Avoided By Millions Of Eligible Americans:
FALLS CHURCH, Va. -- Republicans say too many Americans receive food stamps, and that too many of them obtain benefits fraudulently when they could just get jobs instead.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's enrollment has risen from 26 million in 2005 to 47 million today, pushing its annual cost to nearly $80 billion -- but costs would be much higher if everyone eligible for benefits actually received them. In fact, contrary to the idea that America's poor people are collectively gorging themselves on food stamps, they're actually leaving food on the table.
Roughly a quarter of Americans eligible for federal nutrition assistance don't sign up for it, according to the most recent data. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, says that in fiscal 2010 nearly 51 million Americans were poor enough to qualify but only 38 million received benefits.
So why don't the rest enroll?
"Some people don't know [they're eligible], for others it's difficult to navigate the process, for others it's the stigma," Ellen Vollinger, legal director of the Food Research and Action Center, said in an interview.
The program's participation rate has risen steadily since taking a dip after Congress reformed welfare in 1996, according to research by the anti-hunger advocacy group. The rate varies, however, for different demographic groups. Older Americans are generally much less inclined to sign up for SNAP, with less than 40 percent of eligible seniors participating in 2010, according to the USDA.

"And I’m hoping either this administration will wake up or a new one will come in at the next election before irreparable damage is done. Because radical Islam is at war with us. Thank God for the moderates who don't approve of what's being done. But this administration has so many Muslim Brotherhood members that have influence that they just are making wrong decisions for America.” "

Former Paul Staffer Explains Why He Recorded McConnell Aide


Former Paul Staffer Explains Why He Recorded McConnell Aide:
The former Ron Paul aide who secretly recorded a conversationwith Mitch McConnell campaign manager and former colleague Jesse Benton told BuzzFeed on Thursday that he recorded the phone call to protect himself and that he released it because Benton didn’t meet a six-month deadline to take care of an alleged bribery incident.
Asked why he had recorded a conversation that took place in January in which Benton says he is “holding his nose” until Rand Paul’s 2016 presidential bid, Dennis Fusaro, who now works at the Reform Theological Seminary, said “to protect myself when [Benton] would say I was lying.”
Fusaro called Benton to ask about an alleged bribe given to Iowa state senator Ken Sorensen by a former Paul campaign staffer in return for his endorsement. Fusaro had previously recorded a conversation with Sorensen in which Sorensen described taking the money.
